Brielle's Cereal Party-June 24, 2010

My baby Girl turned 5!!! And like most years I've asked her what kind of party she wanted for her birthday, and like most years, she has replied, "a princess party". But not this year! Brielle and Mark started talking about her birthday far in advance at the dinner table and being the tease that he is, Mark would suggest outrageous themes to exasperate poor little Brielle! So when he threw out a cereal themed party in jest, and mentioned cereal and milk filled water balloons and a cereal pinata jokingly, he did NOT expect her eyes to light up and scream, YEAHHH!!! So that's what we did!! I kept asking her if she wanted to change the theme and we would do whatever she wanted and she stuck with the cereal and the more I thought about it, the more ideas I had and realized this could really be fun! And you know what? I thinks its the most fun she's had at her Birthday parties yet!:)

"So...which one will it be for you?? Pink or fruity cupcake?"
